Demographic Responses to Community and Family Context (ICPSR 34462)

Principal Investigator(s):
Leonard, Susan Hautaniemi, University of Michigan. Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Summary:

The goal of this project was to examine how family and community context interact to shape mortality, marriage, and reproduction over generations in China. In examining the influence of family context, the study moved beyond effects of characteristics of parents and other close relatives to focus on the role of kin living in other households and even communities. In examining the influence of community context, the study moved beyond consideration of geographic and economic characteristics to focus on community social organization. The research also examined how observed patterns of family and community contextual effects vary in response to secular changes and geographic variation in social, economic, and political context.
